Book your Cumbria Way Holiday

“An arrow through the centre of the spectacular Lake District”

The Cumbria Way passes south to north through the heart of the Lake District visiting Coniston, Langdale, Borrowdale, Keswick & Caldbeck. However it will be the peaceful moments which will live long in the memory. Beacon Tarn is a little gem, as is Little Langdale early in the walk whilst Langstrath is a hidden valley rarely visited and all the better for it! There are always opportunities to climb a few fells on the way.

The itinerary allows for maximum flexibility, particularly in the central section.

Beacon Tarn

Coniston Water

High Tilberthwaite

Elter Water

Upper Langdale

Upper-Borrowdale

Skiddaw
